Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field of fabrication of syringes and other medical devices having a lubricity coating applied by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and more particularly to a method for applying a lubricity coating to an interior surface of a vessel using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, to the use of a vessel processing system, to a computer-readable medium and to a program element.
- PECVD plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition
- silicon oil is typically used as a lubricant to allow the plunger to slide in the barrel. Silicon oil has been implicated in the precipitation of protein solutions such as insulin and some other biologies. Additionally, the silicon oil coating is often non-uniform, resulting in syringe failures in the market.
- the present invention pertains to plastic vessels and medical devices, in particular vials and syringes, coated with thin PECVD coatings made from organosilicon precursors.
- These novel devices offer the superior barrier properties of glass and the dimensional tolerances and breakage resistance of plastics, yet reduce or eliminate the drawbacks of both materials.
- the surface chemistry of the coating can be predictably varied.
- a plasma coating SiO x C y H z or its equivalent Si w O x C y H z , in which x is from about 0.5 to about 2.4 as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), y is from about 0.6 to about 3 as measured by XPS, and z is from about 2 to about 9 as measured by at least one of Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) or hydrogen forward scattering (HFS)) is provided.
- This plasma coating improves lubricity (“lubricity coating”), thus eliminating the need for traditional silicon oil lubricants e.g. in syringes.
- Further embodiments of the invention are methods to influence the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of said coatings and the resulting coated devices.
- An aspect of the invention is a method for preparing a lubricity coating on a plastic substrate, the method comprising: (a) providing a gas comprising an organosilicon precursor, and optionally an oxidant gas, and optionally a noble gas, in the vicinity of the substrate surface; and (b) generating a plasma in the gas by providing plasma-forming energy adjacent to the plastic substrate, thus forming a coating on the substrate surface by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).
- PECVD plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition
- the plasma-forming energy is applied in a first phase as a first pulse at a first energy level followed by further treatment in a second phase at a second energy level lower than the first energy level.
- the invention further pertains to a substrate coated with the product of the above method, to a vessel processing system for coating of a vessel, the system comprising a processing station arrangement configured for performing the above and/or below mentioned method steps. Examples of such processing stations 5501 - 5504 are depicted in FIGS. 2-4.
- the invention further pertains to a computer-readable medium, in which a computer program for coating of a vessel is stored which, when being executed by a processor of a vessel processing system, is adapted to instruct the processor to control the vessel processing system such that it carries out the above and/or below mentioned method steps.
- the invention further pertains to a program element or computer program for coating of a vessel, which, when being executed by a processor of a vessel processing system, is adapted to instruct the processor to control the vessel processing system such that it carries out the above and/or below mentioned method steps.
- the processor may thus be equipped to carry out exemplary embodiments of the methods of the present invention.
- the computer program may be written in any suitable programming language, for example, C++ and may be stored on the computer- readable medium, such as a CD-ROM. Also, the computer program may be available from a network, such as the Worldwide Web, from which it may be downloaded into image processing units or processors, or any suitable computers.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded longitudinal sectional view of a syringe and cap adapted for use as a prefilled syringe.
- FIG. 1 A is an enlarged detail view of the syringe barrel wall of FIGS. 1 , 7, and 8.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of an exemplary vessel processing system.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of an exemplary vessel processing system.
- FIG. 4 shows a processing station of an exemplary vessel processing system.
- FIG. 5 shows a portable vessel holder.
- FIG. 6 shows a TEM image of a lubricity coating according to the invention coated on an SiO x barrier coating, which in turn is coated on a COC substrate.
- FIG. 7 is a longitudinal section of a syringe with a staked needle.
- FIG. 8 is a fragmentary longitudinal section of the dispensing end of a prefilled syringe with a staked needle.
- RF is radio frequency
- First and “second” or similar references to, e.g., processing stations or processing devices refer to the minimum number of processing stations or devices that are present, but do not necessarily represent the order or total number of processing stations and devices. These terms do not limit the number of processing stations or the particular processing carried out at the respective stations.
- an "organosilicon precursor” is a compound having at least one of the linkage:
- a volatile organosilicon precursor defined as such a precursor that can be supplied as a vapor in a PECVD apparatus, is an optional organosilicon precursor.
- the organosilicon precursor is selected from the group consisting of a linear siloxane, a monocyclic siloxane, a polycyclic siloxane, a polysilsesquioxane, an alkyl trimethoxysilane, a linear silazane, a monocyclic silazane, a polycyclic silazane, a polysilsesquiazane, and a combination of any two or more of these precursors.
- the feed amounts of PECVD precursors, gaseous reactant or process gases, and carrier gas are sometimes expressed in "standard volumes" in the specification and claims.
- the standard volume of a charge or other fixed amount of gas is the volume the fixed amount of the gas would occupy at a standard temperature and pressure (without regard to the actual temperature and pressure of delivery).
- Standard volumes can be measured using different units of volume, and still be within the scope of the present disclosure and claims.
- the same fixed amount of gas could be expressed as the number of standard cubic centimeters, the number of standard cubic meters, or the number of standard cubic feet.
- Standard volumes can also be defined using different standard temperatures and pressures, and still be within the scope of the present disclosure and claims.
- the standard temperature might be 0°C and the standard pressure might be 760 Torr (as is conventional), or the standard temperature might be 20 °C and the standard pressure might be 1 Torr. But whatever standard is used in a given case, when comparing relative amounts of two or more different gases without specifying particular parameters, the same units of volume, standard temperature, and standard pressure are to be used relative to each gas, unless otherwise indicated.
- the corresponding feed rates of PECVD precursors, gaseous reactant or process gases, and carrier gas are expressed in standard volumes per unit of time in the specification.
- the flow rates are expressed as standard cubic centimeters per minute, abbreviated as seem.
- other units of time can be used, such as seconds or hours, but consistent parameters are to be used when comparing the flow rates of two or more gases, unless otherwise indicated.
- a "vessel" in the context of the present invention can be any type of vessel with at least one opening and a wall defining an interior surface.
- the substrate can be the inside wall of a vessel having a lumen. Though the invention is not necessarily limited to vessels of a particular volume, vessels are contemplated in which the lumen has a void volume of from 0.5 to 50 mL, optionally from 1 to 10 mL, optionally from 0.5 to 5 mL, optionally from 1 to 3 mL.
- the substrate surface can be part or all of the inner surface of a vessel having at least one opening and an inner surface.
- a vessel in the context of the present invention has one or more openings.
- One or two openings like the openings of a sample tube (one opening) or a syringe barrel (two openings) are preferred. If the vessel has two openings, they can be of same or different size. If there is more than one opening, one opening can be used for the gas inlet for a PECVD coating method according to the present invention, while the other openings are either capped or open.
- a vessel according to the present invention can be a syringe (or a part thereof, for example a syringe barrel) for storing or delivering a biologically active compound or composition, e.g. a medicament or pharmaceutical composition, a vial for storing biological materials or biologically active compounds or compositions, a pipe, e.g. a catheter for transporting biological materials or biologically active compounds or compositions, or a cuvette for holding fluids, e.g. for holding biological materials or biologically active compounds or compositions.
- a biologically active compound or composition e.g. a medicament or pharmaceutical composition
- a vial for storing biological materials or biologically active compounds or compositions
- a pipe e.g. a catheter for transporting biological materials or biologically active compounds or compositions
- a cuvette for holding fluids, e.g. for holding biological materials or biologically active compounds or compositions.
- a vessel can be of any shape, a vessel having a substantially cylindrical wall adjacent to at least one of its open ends being preferred.
- the interior wall of the vessel is cylindrically shaped, like, e.g. in a sample tube or a syringe barrel. Sample tubes and syringes or their parts (for example syringe barrels) are contemplated.
- a “hydrophobic layer” in the context of the present invention means that the coating lowers the wetting tension of a surface coated with the coating, compared to the corresponding uncoated surface. Hydrophobicity is thus a function of both the uncoated substrate and the coating. The same applies with appropriate alterations for other contexts wherein the term “hydrophobic” is used.
- the term “hydrophilic” means the opposite, i.e. that the wetting tension is increased compared to reference sample.
- the present hydrophobic layers are primarily defined by their hydrophobicity and the process conditions providing hydrophobicity, and optionally can have a composition according to the empirical composition or sum formula Si w O x C y H z .
- the atomic ratio can be determined by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy).
- the coating may thus in one aspect have the formula Si w OxCyH z ,or its equivalent SiO x C y H z , for example where w is 1 , x is from about 0.5 to about 2.4, y is from about 0.6 to about 3, and z is from about 2 to about 9 as measured by at least one of Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) and hydrogen forward scattering spectrometry (HFS), preferably RBS.
- RBS Rutherford backscattering spectrometry
- HFS hydrogen forward scattering spectrometry
- wetting tension is a specific measure for the hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity of a surface.
- An optional wetting tension measurement method in the context of the present invention is ASTM D 2578 or a modification of the method described in ASTM D 2578. This method uses standard wetting tension solutions (called dyne solutions) to determine the solution that comes nearest to wetting a plastic film surface for exactly two seconds. This is the film's wetting tension. The procedure utilized is varied herein from ASTM D 2578 in that the substrates are not flat plastic films.
- a “lubricity layer” according to the present invention is a coating which has a lower frictional resistance than the uncoated surface. In other words, it reduces the frictional resistance of the coated surface in comparison to a reference surface that is uncoated.
- the present lubricity layers are primarily defined by their lower frictional resistance than the uncoated surface and the process conditions providing lower frictional resistance than the uncoated surface.
- Fritional resistance can be static frictional resistance and/or kinetic frictional resistance.
- One of the optional embodiments of the present invention is a syringe part, e.g. a syringe barrel or plunger, coated with a lubricity layer.
- the relevant static frictional resistance in the context of the present invention is the breakout force as defined herein
- the relevant kinetic frictional resistance in the context of the present invention is the plunger sliding force as defined herein.
- the plunger sliding force as defined and determined herein is suitable to determine the presence or absence and the lubricity characteristics of a lubricity layer or coating in the context of the present invention whenever the coating is applied to any syringe or syringe part, for example to the inner wall of a syringe barrel.
- the breakout force is of particular relevance for evaluation of the coating effect on a prefilled syringe, i.e. a syringe which is filled after coating and can be stored for some time, e.g. several months or even years, before the plunger is moved again (has to be "broken out”).
- the "plunger sliding force” (synonym to “glide force,” “maintenance force,” F m , also used in this description) in the context of the present invention is the force required to maintain movement of a plunger in a syringe barrel, e.g. during aspiration or dispense. It can advantageously be determined using the ISO 7886-1 :1993 test known in the art. A synonym for "plunger sliding force” often used in the art is “plunger force” or “pushing force”.
- the "plunger breakout force” (synonym to “breakout force”, “break loose force”, “initiation force”, F, also used in this description) in the context of the present invention is the initial force required to move the plunger in a syringe, for example in a prefilled syringe.
- Sliding force and breakout force are sometimes used herein to describe the forces required to advance a stopper or other closure into a vessel, such as a medical sample tube or a vial, to seat the stopper in a vessel to close the vessel. Its use is analogous to use in the context of a syringe and its plunger, and the measurement of these forces for a vessel and its closure are contemplated to be analogous to the measurement of these forces for a syringe, except that at least in most cases no liquid is ejected from a vessel when advancing the closure to a seated position.
- a method for preparing a lubricity coating or layer 286 on a plastic substrate 280 such as the interior surface 254 of a vessel 268, 80, for example on its wall 280 is illustrated.
- the coating method comprises several steps.
- a vessel 268 is provided having an open end, a closed end, and an interior surface.
- At least one gaseous reactant is introduced within the vessel 268.
- Plasma is formed within the vessel 268 under conditions effective to form a reaction product of the reactant, i.e. a coating, on the interior surface of the vessel 268.
- the method includes providing a gas including an organosilicon precursor, optionally an oxidizing gas (for example 0 2 ), and an inert gas in the vicinity of the substrate surface.
- the inert gas optionally is a noble gas, for example argon, helium, krypton, xenon, neon, or a combination of two or more of these inert gases.
- Plasma is generated in the gas by providing plasma-forming energy adjacent to the plastic substrate.
- a lubricity coating or layer 286 is formed on the substrate surface such as 254 by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).
- PECVD plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition
- the plasma- forming energy is applied in a first phase as a first pulse at a first energy level, followed by further treatment in a second phase at a second energy level lower than the first energy level.
- the second phase is applied as a second pulse.
- the substrate optionally can be injection molded, blow molded, or otherwise formed from a polymer selected from the group consisting of a polycarbonate, an olefin polymer, for example a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC), a cyclic olefin polymer (COP), or polypropylene, and preferably COP; a polyester, for example polyethylene terephthalate or polyethylene naphthalate; polylactic acid; a polymethylmethacrylate; or a combination of any two or more of these.

- the more distant portions of the graded coating can be less compatible with the substrate than the adjacent portions of the graded coating, since at any point the coating is changing gradually in properties, so adjacent portions at nearly the same depth of the coating have nearly identical composition, and more widely physically separated portions at substantially different depths can have more diverse properties.

- the roughness can be expressed as "RMS roughness” or “RMS” determined by AFM.
- RMS is the standard deviation of the difference between the highest and lowest points in an AFM image (the difference is designated as "Z"). It is calculated according to the formula:

- the PECVD made coatings and PECVD coating methods using an organosilicon precursor described in this specification are also useful for coating catheters or cuvettes to form a barrier coating, a hydrophobic coating, a lubricity coating, or more than one of these.
- a cuvette is a small tube of circular or square cross section, sealed at one end, made of a polymer, glass, or fused quartz (for UV light) and designed to hold samples for spectroscopic experiments. The best cuvettes are as clear as possible, without impurities that might affect a spectroscopic reading. Like a test tube, a cuvette may be open to the atmosphere or have a cap to seal it shut.
- the PECVD-applied coatings of the present invention can be very thin, transparent, and optically flat, thus not interfering with optical testing of the cuvette or its contents.
- the lubricity coating optionally provides a consistent plunger force that reduces the difference between the break loose force (F,) and the glide force (F m ). These two forces are important performance measures for the effectiveness of a lubricity coating.
- F, and F m it is desired to have a low, but not too low value.
- too low Fi which means a too low level of resistance (the extreme being zero)
- premature/unintended flow may occur, which might e.g. lead to an unintentional premature or uncontrolled discharge of the content of a prefilled syringe.
- Break-loose and glide forces are important throughout a device's shelf life especially in automated devices such as auto-injectors. Changes in break-loose and/or glide forces can lead to misfiring of auto injectors.
- the lubricity is influenced by the roughness of the lubricity coating. It has surprisingly been found that a rough surface of the coating is correlated with enhanced lubricity. The roughness of the lubricity coating is increased with decreasing power (in Watts) energizing the plasma, and by the presence of 0 2 in the amounts described above.
- the vessels (e.g. syringe barrels and/or plungers) coated with a lubricity coating according to present invention have a higher lubricity, which means a lower F, and/or F m (determined, e.g. by measuring the F, and/or F m ) than the uncoated vessels. They also have a higher lubricity than vessels coated with an SiO x coating as described herein at the external surface.

- the coating has an atomic concentration of carbon, normalized to 100% of carbon, oxygen, and silicon, as determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), greater than the atomic concentration of carbon in the atomic formula for the feed gas.
- the atomic concentration of carbon increases by from 1 to 80 atomic percent (as calculated and based on the XPS conditions in Example 15 of EP 2 251 455), alternatively from 10 to 70 atomic percent, alternatively from 20 to 60 atomic percent, alternatively from 30 to 50 atomic percent, alternatively from 35 to 45 atomic percent, alternatively from 37 to 41 atomic percent in relation to the atomic concentration of carbon in the organosilicon precursor when a lubricity coating is made.
- An additional aspect of the invention is a lubricity layer or coating deposited by PECVD from a feed gas comprising a monocyclic siloxane, a monocyclic silazane, a polycyclic siloxane, a polycyclic silazane, or any combination of two or more of these.
- the coating has an atomic concentration of silicon, normalized to 100% of carbon, oxygen, and silicon, as determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), less than the atomic concentration of silicon in the atomic formula for the feed gas. See Example 15 of EP 2 251 455.
- the atomic concentration of silicon decreases by from 1 to 80 atomic percent (as calculated and based on the XPS conditions in Example 15 of EP 2251 455), alternatively from 10 to 70 atomic percent, alternatively from 20 to 60 atomic percent, alternatively from 30 to 55 atomic percent, alternatively from 40 to 50 atomic percent, alternatively from 42 to 46 atomic percent.
- the lubricity coating can have a density between 1 .25 and 1 .65 g/cm 3 , alternatively between 1 .35 and 1 .55 g/cm 3 , alternatively between 1 .4 and 1 .5 g/cm 3 , alternatively between 1 .4 and 1 .5 g/cm 3 , alternatively between 1 .44 and 1 .48 g/cm 3 , as determined by X-ray reflectivity (XRR).
- XRR X-ray reflectivity
- XPS data is quantified using relative sensitivity factors and a model that assumes a homogeneous layer.
- the analysis volume is the product of the analysis area (spot size or aperture size) and the depth of information. Photoelectrons are generated within the X-ray penetration depth (typically many microns), but only the photoelectrons within the top three photoelectron escape depths are detected. Escape depths are on the order of 15-35 A, which leads to an analysis depth of -50-100 A. Typically, 95% of the signal originates from within this depth.
- RBS spectra are acquired at a backscattering angle of 160° and an appropriate grazing angle (with the sample oriented perpendicular to the incident ion beam).
- the sample is rotated or tilted with a small angle to present a random geometry to the incident beam. This avoids channeling in both the film and the substrate.
- the use of two detector angles can significantly improve the measurement accuracy for composition when thin surface layers need to be analyzed.
- a thin ( ⁇ 100nm) amorphous or polycrystalline film resides on a single crystal substrate "ion channeling" may be utilized to reduce the backscattering signal from the substrate. This results in improved accuracy in the composition of layers containing elements that overlay with the substrate signal, typically light elements such as oxygen, nitrogen and carbon.
- Spectra are fit by applying a theoretical layer model and iteratively adjusting elemental concentrations and thickness until good agreement is found between the theoretical and the experimental spectra.
- Hydrogen concentrations are determined by comparing the number of hydrogen counts obtained from reference samples after normalizing by the stopping powers of the different materials.
- a hydrogen implanted silicon sample and a geological sample, muscovite, are used as references.
- the hydrogen concentration in the hydrogen implanted silicon sample is taken to be its stated implant dose of 1 .6x 1017 ⁇ 0.2x1017 atoms/cm 2 .
- the muscovite (MUSC) sample is known to have -6.5 ⁇ 0.5 atomic percent hydrogen.
- Samples are checked for hydrogen loss in the analyzed region. This is done by acquiring spectra for different acquisition times (initially a short exposure followed by a longer exposure to the He++ beam). Charge accumulations for 5 and 40 ⁇ C are used. A lower proportional signal in the 40 ⁇ C spectrum indicates hydrogen loss. In those cases the shorter exposure is chosen for analysis at the expense of higher noise in the spectrum.
- a silicon control sample is analyzed together with the actual samples and the hydrogen signal from the control sample is subtracted from each of the spectra obtained from the actual samples.
- HFS acquisition backscattering spectra are acquired using the 160° angle detector (with the sample in forward scattering orientation). The RBS spectra are used to normalize the total charge delivered to the sample.
- the sample was mounted onto the sample holder with conductive graphite adhesive, then put into a Denton Desk IV SEM Sample Preparation System, and a thin (approximately 50 A) thick gold coating was sputtered onto the interior surface of the syringe.
- the gold coating is required to eliminate charging of the surface during measurement.
- the sample was removed from the sputter system and mounted onto the sample stage of a Jeol JSM 6390 SEM.
- the sample was pumped down to at least 1 x 10 "6 Torr in the sample compartment. Once the sample reached the required vacuum level, the slit valve was opened and the sample was moved into the analysis station.
- the sample was imaged at a coarse resolution first, and then higher magnification images were accumulated.
- the SEM images provided in the Figures are 5 ⁇ edge-to-edge (horizontal and vertical).
- AFM images were collected using a NanoScope III Dimension 3000 machine (Digital Instruments, Santa Barbara, California, USA). The instrument was calibrated against a NIST traceable standard. Etched silicon scanning probe microscopy (SPM) tips were used. Image processing procedures involving auto-flattening, plane fitting or convolution were employed. One 10 ⁇ x 10 ⁇ area was imaged. Roughness analyses were performed and were expressed in: (1 ) Root-Mean-Square Roughness, RMS; (2) Mean Roughness, Ra; and (3) Maximum Height (Peak-to-Valley), Rmax, all measured in nm.
- each sample was imaged over the 10 ⁇ x 10 ⁇ area, followed by three cross sections selected by the analyst to cut through features in the 10 ⁇ x 10 ⁇ images. The vertical depth of the features was measured using the cross section tool. For each cross section, a Root-Mean-Square Roughness (RMS) in nanometers was reported. These RMS values along with the average of the three cross sections for each sample are listed in Table 5.
- the Digital Instruments Nanoscope III AFM/STM acquires and stores 3- dimensional representations of surfaces in a digital format. These surfaces can be analyzed in a variety of ways.
- the Nanoscope III software can perform a roughness analysis of any AFM or STM image.
- the product of this analysis is a single color page reproducing the selected image in top view.
- To the upper right of the image is the "Image Statistics” box, which lists the calculated characteristics of the whole image minus any areas excluded by a stopband (a box with an X through it). Similar additional statistics can be calculated for a selected portion of the image and these are listed in the "Box Statistics" in the lower right portion of the page. What follows is a description and explanation of these statistics.
- Z Range The difference between the highest and lowest points in the image. The value is not corrected for tilt in the plane of the image; therefore, plane fitting or flattening the data will change the value.
- RMS (Rq) This is the standard deviation of the Z values (or RMS roughness) in the image. It is calculated according to the formula:
- Rq ⁇ (Z 1 -Z avg ) 2 /N ⁇
- Z avg is the average Z value within the image
- Z is the current value of Z
- N is the number of points in the image. This value is not corrected for tilt in the plane of the image; therefore, plane fitting or flattening the data will change this value.
- Mean roughness (R a ) This is the mean value of the surface relative to the Center Plane and is calculated using the formula: where f(x,y) is the surface relative to the Center plane, and L x and L y are the dimensions of the surface.
- Max height (R ma x) This is the difference in height between the highest and lowest points of the surface relative to the Mean Plane.
- Mean Plane The image data has a minimum variance about this flat plane. It results from a first order least squares fit on the Z data.
- the jig is installed on the Dillon Test Stand.
- the platform probe movement is adjusted to 6 in/min (2.5 mm/sec) and upper and lower stop locations were set.
- the stop locations were verified using an empty syringe and barrel.
- the commercial saline- filled syringes were labeled, the plungers were removed, and the saline solution is drained via the open ends of the syringe barrels for re-use. Extra plungers were obtained in the same manner for use with the COC and glass barrels.
- Syringe plungers were inserted into the COC syringe barrels so that the second horizontal molding point of each plunger is even with the syringe barrel lip (about 10 mm from the tip end).
- the test syringes were filled via the capillary end with 2-3 milliliters of saline solution, with the capillary end uppermost.
- the sides of the syringe were tapped to remove any large air bubbles at the plunger/ fluid interface and along the walls, and any air bubbles were carefully pushed out of the syringe while maintaining the plunger in its vertical orientation.
- a Genesis Packaging Plunger Force Tester (Model SFT-01 Syringe Force Tester, manufactured by Genesis Machinery, Lionville, PA) can also be used following the manufacturer ' s instructions for measuring F, and F m .
- the parameters that are used on the Genesis tester are:
- Embodiment Example 1 versus comparative Example A shows a benefit in lubricity, in particular the break loose force (Fi), obtained by initially applying the lubricity coating or layer using high power in first phase of a PECVD process, and then reducing the power in a second phase.
- a benefit in lubricity in particular the break loose force (Fi)
- 1 ml_ syringes were used with FluroTec plungers. Multiple syringes were coated with a lubricity coating under the conditions set out in the table entitled, "20 Watts vs. 50 Watts Power.”
- the PECVD process was carried out in two phases, one following the other immediately, in the same equipment, without breaking vacuum between the two phases.
- Phase 1 after allowing 15 seconds delay to allow the vacuum and gas flows to be established, PECVD was carried out at a power level of 20 Watts for one second in comparative Example A, and at a power level of 50 Watts for one second in Embodiment Example 1 .
- Phase 2 after a short additional delay both types of syringes were subjected to PECVD using the same gas mixture for similar times (the table noting a difference of 20 seconds of treatment for Example A vs. 15 seconds of treatment for Example 1 ).
- Example 1 Testing similar to that of Example 1 and Comparative Example A was carried out for Embodiment Examples 2 and 3 and Comparative Example B. This testing is summarized in the table entitled, Effect of Multi-Stage Process.” In these tests, however, different power profiles were tested.
- the Phase 1 power was 20 Watts applied for one second.
- the Phase 1 power was 50 Watts.
- the Phase 1 power was a first pulse at 50 Watts for one second, followed by a delay of 3 seconds, a second pulse at 30 Watts for 1 second, followed by a delay of 3 seconds, and a third pulse at 15 Watts for one second.
- the Phase 2 treatment was similar, except for the change in OMCTS flow rate for Example 2. This information is summarized in the Table.
- the F, or break loose performance of the syringes was then tested essentially as described for Examples 1 and A, but with the following differences.
- the plungers used were Stelmi 6901 plungers. Standard plunger rods were used.
- the Genesis test speed was 100 mm/min.
- Example 1 Testing similar to that of Example 1 and Comparative Example A was carried out for Embodiment Examples 4 and 5 and Comparative Examples C, D, and E. In these tests, however, after the syringes were coated and before they were tested for lubricity they were heated in an oven for 24 hours at 100 °C at a pressure of 1 Torr (gauge). This testing is summarized in the table entitled, "Oven Treatment.”
